Exploring Haiyan Nanbei Lake: The Timeless Watch of Gaoyang Mountain Tanxianling City Wall

Embraced by Haiyan Nanbei Lake, the Gaoyang Mountain Tanxianling City Wall lies like a sleeping giant dragon, resting quietly by the river of time. As I approach it, the mottled bricks are the engraved lines of time, each crack hiding stories of the past. The square holes on the wall resemble the eyes of the dragon gazing at the world, once witnessing the clamor of war horses and soldiers, now accompanied only by the breeze and white clouds. The freely climbing greenery is a poetic blend of nature and history, with tender green leaves stretching over the ancient bricks, as if telling tales of life's resilience and the weight of history. Stepping through the city gate of Tanxianling, the arched doorway feels like a tunnel through time and space, with the three characters "Tanxianling" silent and solemn on the stone wall. Outside the gate is the modern hustle and bustle; inside is the quiet and depth of history. Looking at the city wall from afar, it follows the mountain's undulations, blending seamlessly with the green hills. The trees on the mountain are lush, like loyal guardians of the wall. The road at the foot of the wall occasionally sees vehicles passing by, stirring up some dust, but it cannot disturb this long-settled tranquility. Beside the black sunshade net, newly planted saplings gently sway in the breeze, as if paying tribute to the ancient city wall. The Gaoyang Mountain Tanxianling City Wall is not just a structure; it is a witness to history, a guardian of time. With its silent posture, it tells stories of past glory and vicissitudes, waiting for every attentive soul to listen and reflect.
